I Don't Believe It!

This morning I decided to check my blog and you can imagine my surprise when I saw that the last post was made on Monday a little after noon. Let's see Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, FRIDAY!

The more I thought about this the more unhappy I became! There is no excuse for the mom ignoring my important things that I need done. I have spent a lot of time today thinking about how I can get her to work better for me but have not come up with too many good ideas at all. Do any of you have this problem regarding your mom?

The stress of all of this along with the thinking I had to do has completely worn me out. I think I will deal with this problem later.

Love to all.

Island Cat

When I started out blogging not so long ago one of my first friends that I met were The Island Cats, Wally, Ernie, and Zoey. There are a great group of kitties and they have the neatest club going on over at their place.  The club has three rules for becoming a member.

1. You have to be a cat
2. You have to live on an island.
3. You have to be spoiled rotten.

I so much wanted to be an island cat and got two out of the three requirements out of the way. But living in the midwest there are not a lot of islands to live on. That would happen only in my dreams.

One day when I was visiting with Wally, Ernie, and Zoey I asked a few questions about their membership requirements. I had a couple of ideas that might get me into the club so I presented them with what I had in mind. I mentioned that I was having a problem with the number two requirement and would they consider if my state had an island in it, or could the dad could build an island in the kitchen for the mom to use while cooking, or if I could spell the word island could that help me qualify?

Just when I thought all was lost I received the following email with super news from my Island Club friends. "Gracie! You are so sweet asking to be an Island Cat!! Since you have met two out of three requirements, and you've come up with creative ways to be an island cat (begging helps) we have decided to make you an Honary Island Cat! Wally, Ernie, & Zoey"

l-r Ernie, Gracie, Wally, & Zoey

You can imagine my surprise which compares nothing to my excitement of being an island cat.

 Life is good!

Thanks guys! !

Growth Check

Since it has been awhile that I reported on how fast I was growing I thought this would be a good time to do that. As you can see by the photos I am doing quite well and not a tiny little kitty anymore, though I am sure I will continue to keep growing more.

You can see that my nice condo is getting a little small for me but I still can squeeze in it quite well. Not sure if I like me hanging out over the sides but there isn't much that I can do about that. Oh well.

This is my most favorite place to rest, catch the sun rays, and watch outside for all kinds of birdies, geese, deers, and other wild life that might pass by my window. I am so happy that I am on the inside looking out instead of on the outside looking in. My ribs no longer show, if fact they are getting hard to find. Life is great!

ps: I won't be able to visit around much in the next couple of days. The mom isn't going to let me have computer time but did say that next week she would let me get back to visiting. I will miss you but in the meantime I will continue to doze in the sunlight.

ps: I amd heading out for the weekend. I have been invited to stay with Sammy and Andy. Sammy is having a birthday party today and all are invited! Head on over, you won't believe the delicious food they are serving.

The Hand Game

I have a fun game that I play with TM, the mom, and TD, the dad. It is called the hand game it it really is fun. It usually starts out by them petting me then before they even know what happens . . . well . . let the games begin.

Game Rules

1. To start the game you use your back feet to slowly sneak up on the hand that is petting you. Then start moving your back feet like you are running, this pushes their hand up toward the mouth.
2.  When you get the hand about an inch or so by your mouth ever so slowly open your mouth.
3. Quickly chomp down on whatever part of the hand you can in your mouth. Note: you must be careful not to  chomp down too hard causing pain in the folks. This is the hardest part because before you know it the mouth takes control. This is where the danger lies.
4. An alarm will go off if pain is felt by the hand folks. You must pay close attention to make sure you hear the warning alarm. This will go off when too much pressure is applied to the hand. You will recognize the alarm because it sounds a lot like TM or TD saying something that sounds like noooooooooooooooooooo.
5. Stop immediately when you hear the alarm sounding.
6. If you activate the alarm immediately you must look oh so sweet. Try to get a look on your face that says you didn't mean it. A little lick on the hurt hand will help the situation greatly.
7. If you want to continue the game repeat steps one through six.

Hope you have a lot of fun filled hours with this fun game.

Note: No humans were hurt during the camera shoot to get this photo.
